Tip Sheets for Surviving the Exchange

In an effort to proactively arm physician practices with important information during the first month of the exchange, CMA Center for Economic Services (CES) prepared this 2 page document, Surviving the First Month of the Exchange tip sheet. Any members who have questions on the exchange should call CES at (888) 401-5911.

Tool for Checking Participation Status

If you attempted to look up a physician’s exchange plan participation status on the Covered California website, you know that it's not a simple process. Because it is critical that physicians know what plans they are contracted with, CMA created a quick and easy tool to look up your exchange plan participation status in just a few clicks. This tool is a members’ only benefit and a CMA website username and password is required to access.
